alaskametro at the For Aeva/Heartsick fundraiser

I’ll be participating in the For Aeva/Heartsick fundraiser. This 2-week event raises money for Amesha Jewell, long-time talented SL creator, who is facing financial difficulties due to RL illness.

Limited-edition “Alexa” flats (left to right): Tourmaline, Aquamarine, Amethyst

I’ve created limited edition versions of the “Alexa” metallic ballet flat in 3 pretty Spring colours. These colours will only be available during the event, and priced at L$100 (with 75% going to Amesha.)

I’ve also put out the “Cyber” necklace, an older piece I still like, with bright shiny plastic shards. L$100 during this event (regular price: L$200,) with 75% of the proceeds going to Amesha.

I decided to shop and put together an outfit using fashion from the fundraiser! I wanted to highlight my pieces, but show how they can be incorporated in a more subdued casual look, despite the vibrant colour palette.

I was inspired by the fresh, spring colours of new leaves and blue skies filled with puffy clouds.

Aeva skins come with a myriad of options, including eyebrow-less. They’re perfect to wear with my eyebrow sets (or those from other creators), allowing you to match any hair colour. They’re natural and fresh-faced, allowing you to layer on makeup as needed. I adore the pouty lips and gorgeous shading on this skin.

[Context] offers mesh clothing with a HUD that allows you to customize your outfit’s colour scheme. This minidress, Zane, offers 8 possible combinations. I like to think of this as a mood ring for dresses… today I was feeling pale grey and pastel green.

I love blue. For accessories, I paired the limited edition Aquamarine “Alexa” flats with the “Cyber” necklace in Pearl, then remembered that I picked up an affordable little blue purse on the Marketplace a while ago.

New at in-world alaskametro office: Gatcha!

During Jewellery Fair 2011, I had far too much fun playing the “gatcha” machines. If you haven’t seen one yet in-world, they’re a bubble-gum-type dispenser that will randomly give you a prize for a small amount of L$. It becomes addictive trying to get the colour combination you want for your prize.

I’ve now got a fun “gatcha” at the alaskametro in-world office! Look for the vending machine. For L$25, you’ll receive either earrings or a bracelet set in a variety of possible colours and textures.

The bracelets and earrings come in leopard, zebra, or wood pattern. There are two mystery versions, too, so you don’t really know what you’re going to get until you play!

Visit the alaskametro<3 in-world office at Sanctum (7, 250, 1001) to play the gatcha. Good luck!

My small size booth: Jewelry Fair 2011

One of the things I really enjoy about joining a shopping fair in Second Life is the booth design. I always try to come up with something unique and themed to distinguish my booth from others.

Last year’s Beauty and the Beast theme had me working with light and dark colours to create a theme of duality. This year’s Jewelry Fair theme is Elements; I’m on the Fire sim, a wonderfully gloomy burnt out lava castle look.

I’ve departed from my usual bright, cheery colour scheme and incorporated the decayed, burnt theme for my booth. The wallpaper is burnt and peeling. The jewellery is displayed in shadow boxes with an antique frame.

You can shop for earrings, necklaces, and bracelets in select colours at my booth. There’s also a little silver jewellery box containing a free gift for you!

Come visit my booth at Jewelry Fair 2011!

alaskametro at Elements: Jewelry Fair 2011!

I’m very excited and proud to be a part of the Elements: Jewelry Fair 2011 in support of OXFAM. alaskametro<3 will have a small booth on the Fire sim, where you’ll be able to find revised and revamped jewellery… the best of the OPIUM stock from years ago, that many new avatars never had the opportunity to own.

I’ve been retexturing everything and refining prim work on some of my favourite pieces from Second Life days gone by. I hope you’ll enjoy wearing it as much as I enjoy making it!

For the bloggers, I’ve put out a gift box with 4 pieces total… you’ll get samples of the “Drop” flexi thread earrings, “Lyvia” pearl strands, the “Zipper Rosette” necklace, and the popular “Lynda” crystal chandelier earrings. Don’t forget that bloggers are invited to enter a Jewelry Fair contest, too!

See you there!
